Really want Budget GOALS with progress bar!

[phalangie9]

I am really impressed with this product and I got setup and started using right away. I was SHOCKED at where my money was going!

Here's the thing, I would really like to see the budget and savings improved.

(Unless I'm missing something) there is no way for me to put in a savings goal (say for a trip or house or something) and see how close I am to reaching that goal.

I also don't see a place where it shows me how close I am to paying off my bills (more than cc and loans). I have overdue bills that don't fit in those categories, and there doesn't seem to be a way to put custom tags on loans to make that work for unusual debt.

Still love your product, but I would really like more in these areas. You could even tie the budget into sponsorship -- If I'm saving for a cruise, home, etc. etc. you can have sponsors who advertise me those products as I'm getting close to reaching my goal...

I agree that this would be a great feature to add. The budgeting is a nice feature that Mint has added but it lacks a number of freatures that could enhance the experience for users.
